  On the eve. of New Years Eve.  I was going to slay you all with entertaining stories of New Years pasts.  However, I got nothing, nada, not a single amusing story. 
  
  One great thing about new Years Eve. is to have a true love to ring in the new year with.  Sure it's often about getting drunk, and eating food, but the kiss at midnight is the hallmark of a good new Years Eve.  At least that's what I used to think
  
  In the late teen years, any boyfriend I had was either A. In Jail, B.  Decided New Years eve. was a good time to break up.  C. passed out long before midnight. D. cheating on me. 
  
  The early twenties are somewhat of a blur, and I'm thinking every night was New Years Eve.  I vaguely remember many nights of rolling in after a night a dancing and drinking, at the wee hours of the morning.  So New Years Eve. wasn't such a novel idea, and I am sure plenty of kissing was exchanged at midnight. 
  
  Of course Semi ex and I have celebrated many New Years Eves together.  But none are standing out.  Of course after Jennie was born, making it until midnight was often a chore we would all be asleep by 10:00 pm. assuming that it must be the new year somewhere in the world. 
  
  Tomorrow night we may be spending New Years Eve. at friends, watching the Bears/Packers game.  Which to be honest, I could give a rats ass about, but feel like I should at least pretend to care. 
  
  Matt will be at the game with his cousin.  Here is the weather report
  
  A few rain showers early mixing with snowshowers late. Thunder possible. Low 38F. Winds SW at 10 to 20 mph.Chance of precip 60%.
  
  To say that I am paranoid about his driving, on New years Eve. with that kind of weather, is an understatement.
  
  But semi ex gave him permission and acted like I was practically crazy if I made him miss this opportunity.
  
  I asked Matt if I should buy him a pair of long underwear.  I figured if he made it to the game without getting in a major car crash he should at least be warm.  Besides he has a cold.  I was informed that sure, I could buy him some, but he would never wear them.  He also said he has been dressing himself for eighteen years, and could manage.  I told him technically, that wasn't true as I am pretty sure I dressed him until he was at least five. 
  
  He wanted to know if I was going to call him in college and ask if he was planing on attending a football game, and then telling him what to wear.  When I said yes, of course I was, he said he wasn't going to answer his phone.  Ever.  So it looks like I will be getting an apartment in Bloomington Indiana next year. 
  
  I wonder if they have dysfunctional, drug rehabs for court mandated boys there?  If not I may have to start charging my subs ( that would be you), fifty cents a month to read this blog. 
  
  The rest can be covered by welfare.  Or I can always live out of my van, if I invest in a lap top, I should be fine. 
  
  Happy New Year, see ya in 2007.  Hope you ring it in with someone you love.

  wailing wall.This is where you put prayers.  Jennie said it was hard to find an empty space.  They take them out every Yom Kippur.  I said, if I didn't find room, I'd take some out myself.  I'm sure G-d is a fast reader.
